Course Description:	-
Course Objectives:	This course aims to improve the students with skills on numerical methods rather than programming only. Several mathematical tools that students will find useful will be covered. The students will be able to simplify complex problems by writing them in elegant ways such as 'Ax=b' using Taylor Expansion formulas.
